Firstly, there is one thing in temporary working together to defeat a powerblock. We've never shared same channel. We've naver had safelists. The times we've attacked together I can count on the fingers on my one hand and that was only as resistance. Not only that, but there have been many cases in which WH have attacked chance, be it for land here and there or for bounty/bribes. I personally have mails from Chance asking me if I don't have anything better to do. The fact that you are comparing WH+Chance to TBA is hilarious.
Did I ever say that WH and Chance formed a powerblock? I never once compared those two alliances to TBA. It's also not my fault that you were in a piss-poor resistance, and didn't properly organize with the other alliance. You had SG zeroed while you were out of range of most of inimical, and you STOPPED TRYING because we swapped a couple members with them. That's your failure, not ours
Now lets be honest here. The TBA trio has been working together since day 2, back when the flak war between Inimical and WH began, which Inimical were losing badly, so they decided to call their buddies and in addition to that to form an early resistance. TBA came on top because when they start attacking it is 3 attacking alliances vs 1 defending. Having in mind all alliances are of somewhat same size and with 3-4 good organisers to lead the herd, it doesn't take long to land rape an ally that doesn't have LETs. After both WH and Chance were land raped, only then we somewhat started working together and still it was nowhere the level of which TBA were.
First of all, Inimical wasn't "losing badly." Inimical was at it's most active during the flak wars, and sadly, SG and Lude were, for the most part, nowhere to be found. Yes, we did lead an "early resistance" against WH, and it certainly wasn't just TBA who were in it -- another example of political manipulation that other alliances should have seen right through
Yes, TBA won through numbers. Yes, early on, it was 3 attacking alliances vs 1 defending. (After the first week or so though, most of inimical was not capable of sending on anyone outside of TBA.) To say that you both got land raped and had no lethals is quite incorrect, however. WH remained a military threat for most of the round. Chance, however, did not have the same level of coordination that WH did, and did not hold up as well against our attacks.
Also, TBA didn't have 3-4 organizers. For the most part, a couple people would send, and find that another 3 or 4 noticed and followed them in. The only time there was any real organization was for a few of the big waves, mostly earlier in the round. The only person who organized this was DA, whom everyone seems to love to bash
I never talk without prooves. There are many cases of players in TBA claiming that they are skilled only because they are high ranked.
Can you reference some examples for this? Not so much that I don't believe you as I want to see it myself
FeR and DA are just two recent example. And while those two have some skills atleast, claiming that you are better than someone else just bacuse of your rank is stupid. There have been players who literally have their first round and still make claims like that.
I won't comment on any skill comparison between the people in WH/Chance and the two people you have mentioned, but a few things are certain here:
1) DA's been trolling all round, not only since he's entered the top 10. Needless to say, as much as you may dislike DA, he's not without skill.
2) FeR was rank 1 for the majority of the round, because he managed to pull ahead of everyone else on his own merits. He's an extremely active player, and he's not bad at what he does.
Just because they've talked **** doesn't mean that they're doing it for the sole reason that they're (or were) in the top 10, and that they feel that being in the top 10 means they're skilled.
Life ain't fair too, I ain't expecting the game to be fair. If your victory was a cheap one though, then have the guts to come in front of everyone and say, "Hey, we can't beat you with skill so we needed three times more players", because that is the truth and that is what any honest player will admit. "I want to win but I ain't good/active enough to be in an ally like yours, that's why I joined TBA". That is what I've heard atleast 5 times from players who have been in TBA at one time or another.
Yes, the TBA victory was a cheap one. I don't deny that. However, you're saying that "since your victory was a cheap one, you (everyone in TBA) should come out and say that you're less skilled than anyone in WH/Chance." This is inhernently flawed; Just because (as I admitted) there are many people in TBA who are new or inexperienced, does not mean that EVERYONE in TBA lacks any skill whatsoever. Fighting dirtily does not mean that someone is incapable of winning without doing so.
